Frank Ntilikina’s FIBA World Cup debut left us wanting more (Film Room)

Frank Ntilikina is auditioning at the 2019 FIBA World Cup. For one, the brain trust of the New York Knicks is constantly evaluating the French project. And it’s safe to assume there are a few NBA teams keeping tabs on the former eighth overall pick.

So how did Ntilikina fare in his World Cup debut? Well, forgive me if you’ve heard this before: He made plenty of winning plays, but still left us wanting more.

In France’s 78-74 victory over Germany, Ntilikina only played 13 minutes, but his high defensive motor made a major difference in the game.
